Preschool Of The Arts

We are beyond happy with POTA. Our child started August 2024, a month before turning 2. The first week was an adjustment, but soon after, he couldn’t wait to go back each morning. He doesn’t stop talking about his teachers and the rest of the staff (he knows everyone’s name). On weekends and during vacations he asks to see pictures of his teachers. They were also a big help and support through our potty learning journey. This school and especially the wonderful staff are just magical. Our child has progressed in every area. We have seen an exponential growth since he started school. We are so happy and our baby (not so baby anymore) is thriving. Looking forward to the next few years.

Our experience at Preschool of the Arts was amazing. We got our older daughter for a few days a week at the beginning, more based on my hesitation of a first time mom leaving her kid with someone else. But little by little our daughter would come home so excited and growing in so many ways. I was so concerned about her being away from home but everyday either if it was Ms. Lena and Ms. Laly or Ms Sam and Ms. Nica; they gave me so many reasons to assure me that we were doing the right thing. She flourished in so many ways and we owe that to all of the effort and thought behind everything they do to inspire the kids. Compared to any other schools we toured before she was born there is no point of comparison. The teachers we had the pleasure to meet had a very important common denominator… it feels like they love what they do.

We have been at Jay and Patty Baker Preschool of the Arts for two years and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we stepped through the door, we knew we had found a special place. The teachers and staff are warm, welcoming, and truly care about the children. They create a nurturing and stimulating environment that encourages learning through play and exploration. The curriculum is well-rounded and incorporates a variety of activities, including art, music, yoga, cooking and more! Communication with parents is excellent. The teachers provide daily updates on our child's progress, and are always available to answer questions and provide guidance on how we can support our child's learning at home. We highly recommend Jay and Patty Baker Preschool of the Arts! It is a wonderful place where children can thrive and build a strong foundation for future learning. Our child loves every moment spent there and we feel fortunate to be a part of such a special community.

This school is the VERY best Naples has to offer. I was an anxious mom who didn't trust ANYONE with my son. It only took one visit to Preschool of the Arts to realize my son would be in capable and loving hands. Academically they are top notch. They believe in play-based learning. Beyond that they always have speakers on child development and family dynamics so us parents learn a lot too. Preschool of the Arts is always adding and upgrading which recently included a new Market Place that is essentially a little supermarket where children can "play" and learn how to conduct business. They can even sell the veggies they grow and learn about in the school's beautiful organic garden. The children are exposed to culture, science, art, music, yoga, cooking, and more. There is a beautiful covered playground so your child isn't coming home sunburned. My son loves school and is sad when we have to keep him home. Preschool of the Arts sends home photos and updates daily through an app which is great. You can see exactly what your child is learning and doing each and every day. The school is safe and secure with multiple locked gates, security cameras, guards and a fingerprinting system to check your child in and out. Despite all of the safety checks it doesn't feel scary- it is a beautiful campus that feels like home to both the students and the parents. If you want your child to have the BEST start in their academic career you absolutely can not go wrong with choosing Preschool of the Arts. Every aspect of this school is TOP NOTCH especially the staff. I hope your child is as lucky as mine is and can attend this amazing school. Apply now because excellence has a waiting list!

Naples Preschool of the Arts is a phenomenal school. It is a safe, clean, happy, and healthy environment. My daughter’s teachers are lovely, understanding, and kind. This is a well organized, well thought out, and seamlessly run school. I highly recommend enrolling your children.
